Polycarbonate sheets are clear, impact-resistant sheets made from thermoplastic polymers that incorporate carbonate groups in their chemical structure. These polymers consist of plastic material, which heat can be applied to alter their form. In short, polycarbonate sheets can be customized and shaped in a variety of ways, making them beneficial to many applications.
What is it for?
Twin-wall polycarbonate sheeting is used primarily as an alternative to glass. Weight, flexibility, and impact strength are all benefits of using polycarbonate as a glass substitute. Applications include those in which thermal insulation is necessary while still allowing light transmittance. Green houses, window replacements, shower enclosures, partitions, light covers, patio covers, carports, and
windbreaks are all modern applications for twin-wall. Specifically in greenhouse construction, the flexibility, transparency, and insulation
properties contribute to industry-wide success in horticulture. Twinwall
polycarbonate is able to flex in the demanding conditions of four-season greenhouses and allows for consistent temperature management because of the insulation properties.
